Ersheszhet, known as the Hag Naga, is a wicked lake monster who promises good harvest and good fortune to those who give her soft children with crunchsome bones. She is a vile and loathsome creature, utterly unredeemable and with no shred of kindness in her soul.
Statistics: Ersheszhet is a Chaotic Evil Spirit Naga, who often appears (briefly) in human form by illusion magic. She tends to use illusions and deception, forcing opponents to enter her watery lair to confront her, even hiding entrances or making tunnels look longer in order to catch opponents unaware and potentially drown them using summoned water elementals. She also uses druidic rather than clerical magic for her spellcasting, allowing her to affect plant growth and the lake itself. How you can use the Hag Naga in your game: - One of your player characters might hail from a small village near Ersheszhet's lake, and remember a childhood friend vanishing one dry summer, mourned but not investigated by the adults. On returning home and noticing more dry weather, the adults start looking around for another child who might be a suitable sacrifice, and one might let slip the village's terrible secret to the visiting adventurers. - As a Hag, Ersheszhet's knowledge is far and wide, and she might need to be consulted by adventurers seeking some forbidden knowledge or awful secret. What she demands in exchange for her knowledge may be too vile to contemplate, however. - Ersheszhet's presence may be only coincidental to your PCs' involvement. Some sunken treasure or cast-off relic like Isildur's Ring might lie beneath the dark surface of Ershezhet's Tarn. Perhaps she has even been the one to find and keep it, hiding it from sight.
